Inexpensive robots of all forms are on the rise. Meka uses compliant actuators called series elastic actuators (SEAs) in nearly all joints of its robotic systems. A spring between motor and load ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...

Mohamed Fanni, Professor of Robotics and Mechatronics at the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (EJUST), announced on Monday that a research team from EJUST has succeeded in ...

Think robots are all square corners and rigid metal parts? Think again. Two interns at NASA are part of a larger group working on "soft robots" that could be used for exploring worlds beyond Earth.

The electric humanoid robot Atlas and the robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics, the surgical robot Da Vinci and NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance robots use the wobbling Harmonic Drive gearbox to ...

The use of Cartesian and six-axis robots, as well as selective-compliance-articulated robot arms (SCARAs) is on the rise. They automate tasks to accelerate cycle times, increase throughput, and ...
